LarryCRetired Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 Does anyone know if there is the option to send a text message to someone that that has spectrum cellular. I could not find spectrum in the drop down and wondering if there is someone that partners with them for text messages. If there is not an option, I will see if I can get them to sign up for push messages. Thank you
Athlon Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 Try xxx-xxx-xxxx@vtext.com I found some info online saying they may use Verizon's towers. 1

hart2hart Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 All of these options have become very unreliable in the past year with cellular company’s policy updates. 1
LarryCRetired Posted June 23, 2022 Author Posted June 23, 2022 @Athlon Thank you so much for your research. I should have done that first before posting but to be honest, i did not think of doing that. I am in the process of testing with the individual and will respond back with the results. @hart2hart I went to pushover because the reliability was so bad with critical things in my home. However, my problem is I am working with a non-technical person some miles away. She has been using ATT and that was working for her. I am hoping we can get by with Athlon's suggestion because of the difficulty in getting her changed to something else.
LarryCRetired Posted June 23, 2022 Author Posted June 23, 2022 @Athlon Just completed a successful test with this format xxx-xxx-xxxx@vtext.com. Very much appreciate your help. I was not looking forward to going the pushover route even though in the long run that would be better.

Our cell phones are with ATT. I've had a program for sometime that texts me when a garage door is left open for more than 30 minutes. It's been working fine. His MMV with Spectrum, of course. Should be easy to test it.
Athlon Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) @LarryCRetired Looks like we posted a the same time. ? Happy to hear it works for you. Edited June 23, 2022 by Athlon
